Winter 2021 - Homework isn't overwhelming, and two of them are dropped at the end of the quarter. Prof. Nam gives short lectures that typically have a couple of example problems to help explain his points. The tests weren't that bad since we had 24 hours to complete them, but he wasn't very lenient on giving partial credit. Great personality and always had a positive attitude. Edit: his final was very very difficult. Made no sense.

Fall 2020 - Overall, this class wasn't bad. Professor Nam is a fairly good lecturer and always seeks to answer his student's questions. However, I don't think he provides good enough examples for concepts; rather, the examples he gives in class are pretty elementary and doesn't prepare us for more difficult questions. The textbook is pretty shitty too in my opinion. The midterms were easy but the final was very very hard. I wouldn't count on the midterms for his class to be easy in the future as it seems he made the final extra hard to offset the good grades we got from the midterms. Also, he didn't curve grades in the end despite very low scores on the final. Make sure to try to get 100% on every homework as that category is a large part of your grade and every point counts! Course Breakdown: Homework - 30% Midterm 1 - 20% Midterm 2 - 20% Final - 30% Exam Medians: Midterm 1 - 96% Midterm 2 - 95% Final - 66%
